Liverpool are pursuing Nordsjaelland winger Kamaldeen Sulemana – and it could have an impact on Celtic.

The Daily Mail reported in May that Liverpool were watching Sulemana ahead of a potential £12million move this summer.

Sulemana, 19, has been a star in Denmark with 10 goals and eight assists this past season, and looks to be a star of the future.

Nordsjaelland appear to be making contingency plans in case Sulemana does move on, and that’s where Celtic come into this.

Bold in Denmark claim that Nordsjaelland want to sign Celtic winger Karamoko Dembele as a potential replacement for Sulemana.

Dembele only had one year left on his Celtic deal, and struggled for first-team opportunities this past season.

He is now attracting interest in Europe, and Norsdjaelland want him again having failed to land him during the January transfer window.

That’s a real boost for Liverpool, with Norsdsjaelland already looking at potential signings to facilitate a Sulemana sale.

Celtic may not be too keen on selling Dembele, but it’s a case of use him or lose him – and playing regularly in Denmark could be appealing, especially after seeing how Sulemana has excelled.
